Step 3
Place the strawberry on a toothpick or skewer or use your fingers. Lower into the chocolate and dip until sufficiently covered.
Kitchen Notes
If you would like to decorate your strawberries, you can add sanding sugar, toasted coconut, chopped nuts, sprinkles, etc. Add the decorations while the chocolate is still wet.
Place your strawberries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If you want to add a contrasting color, use a piping bag to pipe stripes or shapes over the part of the strawberry that is dipped in chocolate.
